And we zoom through time again! I'm curious... is the you-know-who thing with Rose her trying to make Scorpius jealous? I loved the banter between Scorpius and Al... you've got such a quick wit and it shows through them. I've said it before, but I'd love to be included in that group!

I admit the jump in time was a bit abrupt, but I really do think you handled it well. And really, if we're ever going to see Albus fall for someone other than a red head, he needs to age a bit, doesn't he ;o). The cameraderie (not sure I spelled that correctly) that you have with this next generation is so great. I wish I'd had a group of friends like this when I was a kid. I love the nicknames and teasing back and forth. Keep it up!!

Thanks for the comments on the bantering and dialogue! I've never really done much in the way of humor writing so it's good to know I'm passing in the slightest.

I like how you described Scorpius avoiding his father at the beginning. And I really love the way you portray Rose. She seems to really be a good blend of both Ron and Hermione. Hermione's brains and common sense, Ron's fun loving attitude and mouth.

I'm so sorry you lost all my other reviews. I can't remember what all I've already said, so I'm just doing a quick note to let you know I'm still reading and loving!

I just read your whole story. It was very good but I don't think Harry, Hermione and Ginny would act quite like that about their children befriending Scorpius. Ron, I think you described very well, but the other three...
Anyways, keep up the great work.

thanks very much for the constructive critisism. it's very much appreciated. thanks for reviewing!

I love this story because it's interesting and suspenseful in a really laid-back, ordinary way. Meaning that you manage to make normal, ordinary events fun and interesting. The plot is simple and easy to follow, and you mimic the atmosphere of Hogwarts in Harry's time flawlessly.

I have to say, you do a good job of making Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny very good adults. It's really hard to imagine them that way, and you do a great job helping us readers out with that. So thank you. I loved the chapter; I can't wait for the next one.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

wow, this has got to be the best darn review i have EVER gotten! you're awesome!!!!

This is a very good story, but maybe you could put in some comparison to Sirius, cos I think that would make James feel better about being in Gryffindor, since Sirius turned out alright. but that's only my suggestion. Keep writing!

wonderful, i was wondering when we would be getting an update, i am ever so eager to read about the match, the kids and well..the parents, surely it will be exciting, seeing how the parents were proir to the match, no?

needless to say, uh oh, poor Al...

aw, thanks so much! i'm working hard on updating, but school comes first of course.

This is a great story. A small bit of advice (that you really need not listen to if you don't want to):
It's not quite right that all of the students know each others' parents. A few are given, certainly, but I don't think that Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione would go on long spiels to their children about Hogwarts and their friends and enemies. I think maybe they should know a bit less about each other, that's all.
I love your characters, though. They all seem to fit in perfectly with their families; Azalea with Neville and Luna is a good example because she's a lot like Luna, with some Neville-ish characteristics, like her hair.
You've also got pristine spelling and grammar, which makes it delightfully easy to read and paints a clear picture. Well done on that.
I look forward to a bit more character development with Scorpius, though. You have a good start, having him reject Slytherin and choosing Gryffindor instead, but I want to see some of the similarities and differences between him and his father.
And who is his mother? I'm excruciatingly curious! This is a lovely story. What really drew me in was the title; that was cute.
Anyway, be careful with the cheesiness, and great job so far! This is an amazing beginning that's got a ton of potential! Update soon!

Thanks so much! I love advice, when it's contructive, so double thanks!

Well, I thought that it'd be different for them maybe. Because when we read the books, JKR has Harry pretty much blind to the wizarding world, but their children are more in tune. Do you get where I'm coming from?

I've been waiting to use the name Azalea for a long time! It just fit, what with Neville's love of plants and Luna's oddities (God, I love her) it seemed to fit quite nicely.

OMG, thanks so much! My biggest complaint on this site in reviews usually is grammar or spelling issues, so I try to practice what I preach. ^.^ I'm glad you think I'm doing well.

Scorpius is going to be gradually shown. Since I've gotten a lot of good feedback, I switched this story to a Novel from a short story and went on ahead with my original plan. So now, there may be a few installments, so he's going to come, but it's still early.

That's one bit of information I won't divulge. You'll have to read on. But this story was written before I knew about his wife now, so it's not her. That's one of the spots where I went un-canon.

The title just popped into my head one day as I read SS over again, realizing that Ginny and Lily were so alike. Nothing special. ^.^

cool, i really love your descriptave words. u really are a brilliant writer with no typos to speak of. its really adult writing! ( my teacher is always going on a bout adult writing, but its true) update soon, i really like where this is going.
